Schlitz (3);(1-0) vs Tigers (1)(1-0)Monday April 21st
Canton 9:10pm
2-1 Shootout Win!!!
Sorry to be nearly a week late on the biggest game of the year... but I was in Florida.
Nonetheless here is the story about the 3rd seeded Golden Schlitz taking on the number 1 seeded Tigers. A titanic playoff with Championship implications for all concerned.
Keep in mind the winner of this game is only one win away from the title. Keep in mind that with a win the Schlitz could be awaiting the all-powerfull and awe inspiring potential CGS (Championship Game Schlidaveur). Keep in mind our combined record against the Tigers.... re: not good at all... in-fact there is a 0 (read ZERO) in the win column. This was indeed a playoff game for the ages.
The Blogger thanks Brother Foz for the phone update on Tuesday morning, and Dr Jasse for suggesting Pealman give the recap. But Biggest and Maddest Props go to Billy Pearlman. He not only wins the game... but he stars as Guest Blogger. Here is his email to me.
"Big win tonight. I called Jasse, as i told him i would, after the game and he told me to email you. so... we had DWH, Valenti, Coach George, and Mike Daley on D, and the rest of us playing up front.
(Larry, Chris Foz, Nelson, Gregson, Elliott, Chuck Slate, and Roman Kurin)
first period is pretty back and forth against the tigers with them breaking the ice first on a 'seeing eye' goal that somehow snuck through a tiny opening on the short-side.
we pretty much had the play stuck in their end the whole first period but didn't break through until a great second effort by your bro (C.Foz). was sort of reminiscent of Sturm's goal the other night as he pulled the puck into a clear shooting position with the goalie down and buried it.
we carried play the whole second period and got our reward with a blazing mike daley shot as he carried it into the slot picked his spot and nailed it.
in the third they got even on another goal that found the tiniest of openings. we took play to them at the end of regulation but couldn't really get off a great scoring chance, even though we had very strong forechecking and were very strong 'on' the puck. The tigers were frustrated all
night about not being able to get it out of their own end. a 5 minute sudden death ensued with some good up and down action but no goals.
shootout we go up first with larry making nice deke move forehand and then backhand and lifted over the glove of the very quick tiger goalie. we're up 1-0 and its down to their fifth and final shootout guy and he buries it to tie it up, but we still had a chance to win it with Nelson 'machine' Sharfman taking the final shot but he got turned away. We went to one and one shootout the rest of the way with them hitting two posts, and us trying every move possible to beat the goalie including Marky Marc Valenti pulling a Zdeno Chara move and taking a blistering slapper from about 20 feet out on his shootout attempt.
So we had to let everyone on the roster shoot once before being able to cherry pick our shooters again, and on attempt number 11 I believe, it was my turn to give it a shot.
I had larry's move in mind if I got a chance to shoot anyway, and with a little advising from larry I came down looking five hole but managed to freeze him just a second and tried larry's move, and managed to slip it on my backhand and lift it over his glove.
It was a great win to finally beat these guys, and it was very satisfying to be able to finally be able to chip in to help us win one.
Brian played great in net and was unbelievable stopping like 10 out of their 11 shooters to give us a chance to win.
Peace,
Bill "
Here is another quick recap from The Man Nelson Sharfman.
"It is only fitting that we should not only tie against the Tigers in the playoffs, but that we should go to the shootout and exchange ELEVEN chances until a winner is finally decided.
Scorers in the shootout were Larry and Pearlman. Special reverse credit should be given to myself for managing to choose the only other scorer for our team to go 11th out of 12. I don't suspect I will be tapped for that job again.
Goals by Mark or Mike[Daley] (I get confused) and Chris (no confusion there). Assists by Larry (2) and myself.
Our goalie was unbelievable in the shootout (obviously). He went to the stacked pad save on basically every shot but it seemed to work. A very heroic effort.

The Blogger stands and applauds. Not only a huge game winning performance but a stellar guest blog. You guys freaking rule.
Game Stars
3rd Star: Mike Daley. Rookie of the Year comes up big in the playoffs. Way to play Mike.
2nd Star: Goalie Brian Carey. By all accounts strong Playoff Caliber Performance holding the Tigers to 1 goal and playing great in the shootout. Great Job.
1st Star: Game winner with a Shootout Winning Goal, but Guest Blogger as well. He does it all ladies and Gentlemen... Bill Pearlman. Way to go Billy. You scored the biggest goal of the night in the biggest game of the year. Great work.
Honorable Mention 1: Larry Bell for 2 helpers, wouldn't expect anything else from the points leader filling in from the Cads roster.
Honorable Mention 2: Nelson with a helper and a strong guest blog.
We'll soon know if the Sacred CGS is possible after the Zombies face these Tigers on Thursday night. Good luck to the Skating Dead... kick ass boys.
